As we ponder the complicated challenges of a modern world, it serves us well to remember the nature of man. The rifts in our social fabric. The acrimonious debate that so tear at us today. The desire to cancel those we disagree with. These challenges, that so many believe form a new experience for mankind, are but a cycle repeated since the beginning of history. Perhaps, in our struggle to make sense of it all, some salve can be taken in the knowledge that we are not the first to go through these things. Some lessons, at least, can be taken from our consideration of the people and events that preceded us. I find compelling the themes of hero’s who are far from perfect but ultimately contributed more than they took from the world around them. They’re a reminder that life is rarely so simple as our simple and convenient judgments would have us believe. I’ve been a lifetime follower of the exploits of Charles Lindbergh. The world had no idea when he was first assigned the moniker “Lone Eagle” how fitting that name would become for him on multiple levels til the end of his life. FDR is a personality less known to me but like Lindbergh, his life was complex to a degree few comprehend. A great read. A deep dive into a debate that permanently changed our world and whose echoes deserve our attention to this day.

I really wanted to read this book given its reputation. I made it to chapter 9 but the narrators yelling out every comment by Augustus made it simply too obnoxious. I just couldn’t take it any more 😕
